The consideration
Talogy is thorough, but not for everyone
Talogy's Caliper Profile is trusted by enterprise organizations for its depth. But some teams are looking for a faster, more accessible approach.
60-90 minute assessments
The Caliper Profile is thorough, but asking employees to spend over an hour on an assessment can be a significant time commitment.
$200-300 per assessment
Per-assessment pricing can add up quickly for larger teams. Some organizations prefer predictable subscription costs.
21 traits to interpret
Caliper measures 21 personality traits plus cognitive ability. It's comprehensive, but requires more effort to understand and apply.
Certification requirements
Many Talogy assessments require certification to administer. It ensures expertise, but adds time before you can get started.
